Sunderland seek talks with Zambia defender Stoppila Sunzu

The Journal says there is debate over whether the player â€“ a recent target for Reading â€“ is out of contact, however, with his Congolese club TP Mazembe claiming he is under contract for another two years.

He is rated at around Â£3million â€“ Sunderland would not pay that for an unproven defender.
